Just one little stretch of road to go
WHY is Transport and Main Roads wasting time and money patching the 600m section of Steve Irwin Way between Amy Drive and Back Creek Road, when they should just come back and finish the job properly? And while they’re at it, can they please just fix the 700m section between Halcyon Dales and Kello Road, so the whole stretch from Beerwah to Glass House is done.
The beautiful new road out the front of the Pineapple Patch and fruit shop could be easily extended the extra 1.1km to complete the project. Are there plans to do this?
Speaking of roadworks – anyone else know what’s going on in Beerburrum? It’s a state road running through the township and it’s set for a major overhaul when the B2N rail refurbishment gets underway. Parking, shops, vibe… all must go!
I hear the council was a bit taken by surprise by the turnout for the first town hall forum to discuss the proposed Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme. They had room for a couple of hundred but weren’t convinced even that many residents would show up. Turns out over 500 showed up and hundreds had to wait outside.
Still, council took all the questions with, surprise surprise, concerns about density, population growth and that generally uncomfortable feeling of being squeezed out of your own home right at the top of the list.
Most of the concern is about what the coastal strip will look like, but have a look at Beerwah and Landsborough. On the eastern side of Beerwah railway line will look nothing like its present-day vibe. Townhouses, units, more retail… this sleepy hinterland town will never be the same.
